I lost my sweet bicycle yesterday
locked it up and went out to play
but when I came back it was gone gone gone
Oh how I miss my univega superstar
never realized how cool it was until it was gone
oh i remember now riding down the hills
With the wind in my hair and the sun in my face
Oh how I miss that cute little frame
it fit me like a puzzle, yeah it was meant for me
now i walk along these city streets searching for it in vain

Goddamn

Goddamn the disco
Goddamn the Bistro
Goddamn the freakshow
Of my history
Goddamn the hipsters
Of January
Goddamn the party
Goddamn my birthday
Goddamn the holidays
Snapping at my heels
Away, away, I’m away from you
And all that talk about old gossip and new shoes
Okay okay I’ve had enough of this view
So take me home where I can be alone
And rid of this goddamn view
Everyone annoys the hell out of me
Trying to get their piece, trying to claim their land,
Trying to be my friend, trying to take a stand
These goddamn liars complimenting me
These pretty girls trying to take advantage of me
These assholes cutting and taking the lead
These grandpas trying to teach me
These children screaming for more candy
And all their mothers do is give it to them

Because Because

what a surprise, my inbox is empty
sunday is here, and i'm still in this city
my friends are all fighting, my job is slowly dying
lets figure out the future while my clothes are still drying
well of course we care, of course we care it's not that we aren't worried
it's just that we pretend we don't in case this whole thing is dirty
it's because of the economy my heart is in shambles
it's because of my salary i'm breaking my connections
i’m breaking my salary because of my connections
because because because because because because...
i don't need anybody
i can stay in my room all day and i don't need anybody
who cares about society? when you aren't invested in
humanity...
just let me take you out to lunch, i owe you for helping me
please understand i'm not myself, because of the economy
you'll have to understand why bitches are bitches
every cause has a cause there must be an alternative
...to your wishes

Favorite Ex

I cut my hair for you
So I could look like your favorite ex
I saw the picture of her with you
Taped to the side of your queen sized bed
Oh aren’t I the luckiest girl
To get inside your ordinary head
If you love me so much then why
haven’t you cried for me yet
I imagined every position
When I felt myself up last night
If I was a girl, boy, man or woman
I could make you feel alright
All I have to do is close my eyes
And pretend
That I’m not who I am and
That I came from another place
I cut my hair for you
So I can look like your favorite ex
I saw the picture of her with you
Taped to the side of your queen sized bed
I cut my hair for you
Because I know you want me to
It reminds you of the times you spent
With your favorite ex

Love Me Anyway

oh honey muffin, you've got a way of looking tangible but you're so far away
maybe i don't need you but love me anyway
baby i don't see you but love me anyway
i know you have got a lot of things to say
when i'm in a rush you tell me all about your day
but when i'm lonely and bored, where are you then
i'm staying home alone, and you're out with your friends
maybe i don't need you...but love me anyway
baby i don't see you, but love me anyway
some day i'll be the one to have you on your knees
and we can trade places if you like as you as you don't pretend to leave
i'll bring you soup in bed, i'll nurse your hung over head.
just come to me automatically when i don't have the strength to call you desperately maybe
i don't need you but love me anyway
baby i don't see you but love me anyway
i don't need you but love me anyway

Don't Talk Enough

You say I don’t talk enough
I say I don’t interrupt
because talking always
fucks every thing up
you are so beautiful
when you sing lullabies
i am so handsome
when i look into your eyes
but sometimes I get so anxious
and sometimes you want too much
we can talk in circles but
neither of us can get enough
so take off your clothing
so take off your clothing
and purchase everything
and purchase everything
so take off your clothing
and purchase everything
so take off your clothing
and purchase everything
just tell me what you want
dont tell me what you need
i have no patience
these days for anything
I have no morals
No dream for anything
so take off your clothing
so take off your clothing
and purchase everything
and purchase everything
so take off your clothing
and purchase everything
so take off your clothing
and purchase everything
